2nd Grade Teacher

Olney Christian School is a small, private Christian school in the Olney section of Philadelphia.  Our mission is: to make a quality, Christ-centered education affordable for Philadelphia residents.  We are committed to serving families who might not traditionally be able to afford a private school education.  We do not have a faith requirement for parents or children.  So, we are looking for a second grade teacher for the remainder of the 2024-2025 school year who will…

• proclaim good news to children and parents
• successfully engage students growing up in an urban setting, many in working-class poor neighborhoods
• see this position as a ministry, not just a job

The vision of our school is: to equip students in our Philadelphia neighborhoods for life by educating their minds, nurturing their hearts and preparing their hands with practical life skills.  Therefore, we are looking for teachers who can help us fulfill that vision by…

• providing academic instruction that meets a variety of educational needs (head). 
• being a role model of what it means to walk closely with Christ (heart)
• training children with the life skills they will need for a life of service (hands)
